	Description:		Farmers' barns are full of stored wheat and barley which was produced at high cost last summer, but now can only be sold at a loss. We hear what that could mean for grain markets. All week we're hearing about rural tourism: a Northumberland tourist attraction and whisky distillery is using local farmers to supply the barley for the whisky. It's show time again, and one of the first of the season is the Balmoral Show in Northern Ireland. It's a highlight in the agricultural calendar, important for socialising and showing off the hard work farmers put in, but post-Brexit it's also become a focal point for trade in breeding stock. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
